Feature Compilation TITLE2
David John Stracuzzi, Paul E. Utgoff · 2000
A fundamental issue in state evaluation is the production of features that enable state assessment. The features must identify the intrinsic properties of states so that they may be evaluated accordingly. Methods for feature design and construction currently range from automatic induction methods to simple ``hand coding'''' of information into performance programs. Feature compilation allows experts to provide domain knowledge to a program without explicitly defining the representation. High level quantified statements may be compiled and expanded into an efficient representation. The details and benefits of feature compilation are presented along with a sample application.
